Nitrogen deposition accelerates soil carbon sequestration in tropical forests

Forest soil carbon (C) storage plays a central role in sequestrating atmospheric CO2 on timescales from centuries to millennia. However, our current understanding of soil C sequestration in response to N deposition mainly focuses on mid-to-high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, where N supply typically constrains forest growth. We lack data about changes in soil C stocks in tropical forests, where most ecosystems are N-rich or N-saturated. Using more than a decade of continuous N addition experiment and a meta-analysis, we found that excess N deposition can significantly increase soil C in N-rich tropical forests. However, enhanced C sequestration in tropical soils is not a good reason to justify excess N emissions to the atmosphere. Data have been deposited with the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences () All other study data are included in the article and/or [ SI Appendix ][1].

Why food, agriculture experts are not buying central govt’s formulae to enhance farmers’ income

Bharti Kisan Union (BKU) Ugrahan General Secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokrikalan said that the Government of India has assured World Trade Organisation (WTO) that it will decrease the number of farmers in the country, which means that “our government is toeing the line of the WTO and the World Bank policies”.

Current climate model simulations overestimate future sea level rise - Florida News Times

Credit: CC0 public domain The melting rate of the Antarctic ice sheet is mainly controlled by the rise in seawater temperature around Antarctica. Using the new high-resolution climate model simulation, scientists at Utrecht University have discovered a much slower rise in seawater temperature compared to current simulations with coarser resolution. As a result, the projected …
